San Diego seems like a very tough market and my boyfriend and I are considering a move to possibly Charlotte, NC in about a year.

It took some time, but a tenant moved in February, unfortunately, the tenant and her boyfriend have been nothing but bad news.

That didn't go over well, but her boyfriend is a bully and I didn't want to get bullied into an agreement that wasn't fair to us, hence why I hired prop management.

I have a complicated situation and real estate newb here, so please don't mind the LONG post.My mom and her boyfriend at the time bought a brand new condo together in Southern California.

My boyfriend and I are finishing up real estate school at the end of summer and are currently hunting for the right multi-family home to invest in as our first step.

"Disclosed Operating expenses:"RUN your own numbers.400 rent X 4 = 1,600 monthly X 12 = 19,20019,200 gross income divided by half.10% vacancy30% operating and expense10% managementYou have then 9,600 a year.At a 10 CAP you have 96,000 purchase price.1 beds have a lot more turnover than 2 beds do.The people get a boyfriend or girlfriend,get pregnant,family member or mom moves in and they now need a 2 bed.Pay attention to if 400 is at market or below market rent.If it's below market you can keep tenants staying for a long time.If it's high for the area or at market people will move as soon as their income starts falling to a cheaper alternative which creates more turnover.For each turnover you will have lost rent and re-condition costs.The 96,000 purchase price does not include immediate fixes.Example the roof needs redone,mechanicals only have 1 or 2 years left before having to replace etc.

Of course she had a boyfriend too.Needless to say I was glad I could afford to carry this thing.

I had one tenant completely removed from Sec8 because a neighbor tenant complained that tenant1 had 'unauthorized' people (boyfriend) living with her.

Your girl/boy friend was always true?

She wants to short sell the property to person B who is her boyfriend and spends time at the house?
